Cardiovascular System Injury
The cardiovascular system, aka the circular system or the vascular system, is a bodily system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, as well as blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting diseases and stabilize the temperature of the body. In conjunction with that the cardiovascular system also regulates pH, and maintain homeostasis. A cardiovascular system injury can disrupt many different bodily processes and can result in severe and lifelong health complications.
